I've made this station before, its from a different angle, and apparently a different year. When I made the first one, I got all the facts wrong about it, and had conflicting stories. Mostly because there was more than one station by that name in Florida. I also noted the year in the other image was 1905, I think it was more like 1910 or a bit higher.
This image is older (the paint is different, and its missing a row of buildings on the left side, plus there are no cars at all, like the one had. The year on this one is just a guess as well, one site has it pegged for 1906, but those buildings in that other image looked kind of run down.
Anyway, I couldn't find too much info on this exact train (I know its out there some place for those that know). I figured it was mostly a boring black color, but then I noticed two things: One it had pin stripes on the cow catcher, and Two, it had this cool looking spiral rail in the back. People were also looking at it more as if to say, this train is pretty, lets all look. So I gave the parts a bit of bling to make people want to look at it. Colored the cars orange. As for the other cars on the right, the few cars, it seems they were a blue color.
I chose greens for the building because I've seen this combo on other stations of the day, but added a bit of red here and there to make it pop.
I removed the pole bars at the top, because they were simply distracting.
